30 Final Songs and an Update

I now have indoor grow lights, courtesy of my beloved geek. They are semi-effective.

Mr. Autism has been having a blast at camp. Mr. Smarty Pants has been accepted into a local gifted program and will be changing schools again, the poor little monkey.

I have signed up, gladly, for round two of teaching at my beloved small mediterranean-themed charter school.

My mother is still visiting. My in-laws are still in Norway, but not, thankfully, where that madmen wreaked his havoc. My prayers are with the people of Oslo and the youth of the camp.

I have been juicing like a madwoman. Most of the results are good. Pro tip: most people don't like juiced beets, myself included.

I am nearly finished with The Beast!*
